use of audio as well as written presentations. Teacher led discussion should contain student-derived ideas of what the poems are about and why they would be
considered poetry

The goal of this lesson is to help students to write a poem using noun, verb and adverb. For students to come to the conclusion that poetry
can help them understand and develop their writing skills.
Group activity- top reader to deal punctuation cards and can only say ae or kao
● To write a poem like those above you need four words that all start with the same letter.
● The first word in the poem must be an adjective, the second must be a noun, the third must be a verb, and the fourth must be an adverb.

Differentiated Process As students orally respond to the poetry read in class, I can note those students who need assistance and/or added time to complete
each task in the unit.

• Affect/learning environment
The goal of this lesson is for students to read and enjoy a shared poem.
In groups of 3-4 each student is assigned a reading part A,B,C OR D. Hand out copy of” I am sick”. Students practice reading together before reading to the

to develop thinking skills.

No Maori woman, no cry
Māori women poets and songwriters and their virtual non-existence in the New Zealand literary world before the 1970s, when Patricia Grace of Ngāti
Raukawa, Ngāti Toa and Te Āti Awa published her first work, Waiariki, said to be ‘the first book of stories written by a Māori woman’
Some Māori women writing at the time may have been composers of waiata, pōwhiri, and other traditional forms of verbal expression, and although their
works may not have reached beyond the Marae and the local tribal areas where they were written and performed during this period, they should have been
acknowledged in these major anthologies as weavers of the word in Aotearoa New Zealand.
The goal of this lesson is for students to illustrate poetic devices
Directions: You will create five original examples of poetic techniques (by original I mean that you will not just copy an example out of your notes). You will
list and define each term that you are exemplifying. And, you will create an illustration that will accompany each of your examples.
Provide an example and solo criteria
